the junes...
...are an acoustic inspired alternative rock band hailing from San Francisco. Inspired by such artists as Ani Difranco, The Sundays, U2, Wilco, and Sarah MacLachlan, among others, the Junes'' sonically rich sound and passionate lyrics combine to tell stories filled with raw emotion and hope.
The nucleus of the Junes was formed in 2000 when Jen Brown placed an ad in a weekly paper looking for collaborators. Over the next few years and a few lineup changes, the Junes'' sound was perfected with the addition of, first, Rafael Herrera on background vocals and drums, and then Fred Schmidt on bass. Both musicians bring years of experience and a sense of taste and competence to the rhythm section.
With the lineup in place, the Junes went into Broken Radio Studios in Emeryville, CA in Junes of 2003 to record their debut EP "The World and Everything In It" which was well received by fans and critics alike:
* "(I) like the vocals and production... some good stuff here. I like the melodies and musical approach and evocative imagery..."
- Songwriter''s Resource
* "...It appears to go from strength to strength with more ideas in one track than the last six albums that I''ve listened to... I don''t review anything that has no appeal for me so STHBA is full of stuff I consider worth it''s weight in gold."
- Kev Aldersay, "She Took His Breath Away" magazine
* "The Junes bring forth gutsy folk-rock on a roadtrip chicky-poo tip. Rainy day ballads for shaky hearts and soundscapes for real moments."
- Benji Holman, SF Spectrum
Since the release of the EP, the Junes have set about taking their music to the world. They have played all over their hometown including gigs in such clubs as The Red Devil Lounge, Last Day Saloon, Tongue and Groove, and all over Northern California, from as far north as Humboldt County and south to San Jose. The members of the Junes especially enjoy using their music to promote worthy causes such as saving the arts by playing the Richmond Main St. Festival, recurring gigs at ICAN Gallery, promoting cancer research by playing the American Cancer Society''s ''Relay for Life'' and playing benefit shows to support SF Mayoral campaigns of Tom Ammano and Matt Gonzalez.
The Junes online presence on such websites as https://www.tradebit.com, https://www.tradebit.com, https://www.tradebit.com, and https://www.tradebit.com has gained them fans in the states outside their native California and in other countries.
